Apprentices work with professional teaching artists to learn a specific art discipline along with critical life skills and employment training. Youth apply for paid apprenticeships and are paired with professional teaching artists to work in teams for projects through grants and contracts for local, state and federal governments and commissioned works of art for corporate, foundation, and individual clients as well as art for sale, public performance, and display. Artworks offers a wide variety of artistic disciplines including mural design, sculpture, textiles, painting, digital art and technology, photography, graphic arts, videography, and more. Apprentices receive training in workforce development, career preparation, arts education, and life skills training, all while creating art and earning a stipend. Job Training activities include client meetings, open house events and public sales. In Life Skills training, youth learn effective communication skills, environmental stewardship, and fiscal literacy, as well as the importance of nutrition, good health, and personal safety. An art therapist provides group sessions to improve their overall sense of well-being and their feeling of connection to their community and individual sessions, as needed. The art therapist also provided career counseling assessments and sessions for apprentices to assist them in developing career goals. In the six-week summer program, youth work five hours a day, five days a week. Programs offered in the fall and spring are for 13 weeks after school and on Saturdays. . ArtWorks Enterprises (AWE) is our social venture that includes three enterprises - Boomerang Press, BoomerRacks, and BloomWorks. AWE provides revenue to help sustain the organization and to help young people develop life-changing employment skills. Boomerang Press/Media teaches cross disciplinary skills in video, design, layout, and illustration through graphics and media services to clients. BoomerRacks creates bike racks and related works of art using up-cycled bike parts. BloomWorks focuses on sustainable development projects for the garden and public park and urban streetscapes by producing rain barrels, planters, landscape plans, and art from up-cycled materials. . ArtWorks audience is underserved youth (ages 14-19) from the St. Louis region who are at great risk for unemployment, low academic achievement, dropping out of school, and/or not pursuing post-secondary opportunities. In 2023, of 111 participants, 43.2% of the apprentices resided in the City and 22.5% resided in the County Promise Zone. Youth came from 48 different zip codes; 67.5% identified as Black, 17.1% as Caucasian; 3.6% Hispanic or Latino, and 7.2% as two or more races. . ArtWorks is dedicated to helping bridge the learning gap of underserved youth through our unique job training and life skills education program. Our program uses the framework of 21st century skills (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) to help underserved youth access opportunities in education and careers that might otherwise be missed. . Program Accomplishments: In the Spring of 2023, we hosted a reunion event for the St. Louis historic Black Artists Group (B.A.G.). In February we installed a mural on the exterior of our building We Belong: Bridging the Gap. In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, we developed a documentary titled The Revival of the Dream: How Does it End. During the Spring and Summer of 2023, we were commissioned by the National Park Service and Gateway Arch Park Foundation to create murals for downtown St. Louis. 534002 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 137 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X Jacqueline Dace 3148999734 5959 Delmar St Louis MO 63112 Khylil Chestnut Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Tonnie Glispie-Smith Vice-chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Amy Counts Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DeVante House Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ryan Arthur Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Carmen Harris Board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Emily Bernstein Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Nasya Buckley Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Shaughnessy Daniels Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Cory Lampkin Jr Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Christopher Petty Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Reginald Harris Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Kedra Tolson Board member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Dace Exec.Dir. 55.00 X 80000 0 17324 80000 0 17324 0 false false false 0 X 318029 272968 500 590997 Art sales/commissions 900099 89145 0 0 89145 1986 0 1986 4950 0 4950 4950 4950 0 335 -335 -335 0 0 -335 400 0 400 0 400 687143 89145 0 7001 97324 58394 14599 24331 277147 221327 8033 47787 1747 1310 175 262 12392 9780 848 1764 26752 20064 1605 5083 6942 0 6942 0 2500 2500 0 0 993 0 993 0 10152 7725 434 1993 8071 6827 228 1016 134607 130355 1394 2858 20 20 0 0 12 0 12 0 57935 56217 573 1145 581 0 581 0 Uniforms 4135 4135 0 0 Art supplies/matls 6795 6795 0 0 Other 8668 8553 112 3 656773 534002 36529 86242 202 212 195523 121089 125783 280629 54810 17338 166 657 556564 471956 142491 84608 168497 106370 687472 610903 40259 25701 199208 179037 193497 121287 432964 326025 X 16684 -127705 237824 412583 254508 284878 687472 610903 30370 X X false false false X 0 598764 474038 468010 654678 590997 2786487 0 0 598764 474038 468010 654678 590997 2786487 251900 2534587 31868 19987 5647 4440 6936 68878 0 0 0 1500 1886 3386 2858751 324438 0.88660 0.88130 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Misc. 2019: 0. 2020: 0. 2021: 0. 2022: 136.

Each member was requested to respond during that period with either an approval or with additions/corrections. Responses were then summarized and forwarded to the tax preparer for inclusion in the final return. Pt VI, Line 19 The governing documents, 990s, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request at the organizations office. The 990s are available on the Candid (formerly Guidestar) website. Pt VI, Line 12c Board members are required to sign annually an affirmation that they have read the conflict of interest policy and will abide by its guidelines. It is included in the orientation meeting for new members. Board members are proscribed from suggesting self-dealing contracts or suggesting contracts from which family members, associates, etc. would profit. Pt VI, Line 15a A board member reviewed the salaries of executive directors at comparably-sized, programmatically similar not-for-profits in St. Louis and of different types of programs as well. Compensation of executive directors of similar organizations in other cities was reviewed and taken into account also. A Guidestar review was undertaken for objective substantiation. Pt VI, Line 15b For staff other than the executive director, compensation was based on similar positions in metro area not-for-profits. Other Pt.XII, line 2a - On a bi-monthly basis an outside CPA reviews the accounting transactions, makes entries as needed in the accounting software, determines that the account balances are correct at the previous month-end,and provides preparation (SSARS 21) financial statements, and acts as a consultant on other business matters from time to time. Pt XII, Line 2c The finance/executive committee is responsible for the oversight of auditors and outside CPAs work and for the selection of them. Pt VIII Line 6 - In 2023 there were several individuals/groups that rented ArtWorks space for events and office space. Using a combination of hours and space used compared to the totals, the % of the rental was less than 1%. Since the majority of the space(99%)is related to the organizations exempt purpose and is more than 85% threshhold, the space is considered substantially all related to the exempt purpose. Therefore the net rental income is not Unrelated Business Taxable Income subject to 990-T reporting. Pt VI, Line 18 The 990 is available on the Candid (formerly Guidestar)website.
